The sun beats down upon the wasteland,
A heat haze obscures the horizon,
This dusty road is unforgiving,
My naked feet begin to blister.
No spring, so pure as to quench my thirst,
No water blesses an outstretched hand,
My feet bleed on a small sharp pebble.
She's ashamed to be my blood sister.
Who knew that the sky could be so bland?
Not a single cloud decoration.
If I had lived the life I'd planned,
There'd be people behind me grieving
The road I walked sinks into the sand,
Thank the Lord I'm no longer living.

(1)-try hazy heat
(2)-try The dusty road, unforgiving.
Naked feet, blistering.
although that completely ruins the rhyme scheme but do u see what i mean?
(3)i dont like it, the no well bit makes it seem...odd, in a non good way try somethign different, change the sentence structure around or something or try more dramatic language
No water to ease this burning thirst,
No water blesses this cracking hand. somethig liek that, thats crap but ya know! lol, and end it with a full stop
(4) change round pebble to sharp pebble adn end it with a full stop again for dramatisation
(5) add for in there
(6) skip the full stop, make it faster in pace
there ya go happy now
